Forming in Canada and featuring ex-members of Despised Icon and Blind Witness, Obey The Brave are heading to Australia for the first time this coming August.
Despite having formed a mere 18 months ago, Obey The Brave has already made an impact on the metalcore scene with their debut full length Young Blood released by Epitaph in August last year.
Boasting a strong DIY ethic the band has quickly built a loyal and solid fan base and had a network of over 14,000 fans on Facebook before they had even released a song.
Their album Young Blood is a culmination of each individuals influences as Lepage said last year: “When we started writing, we just told ourselves that we’d do music everyone would like and have everyone’s influences in it. In this band, we listen to everything from Smashing Pumpkins to Pantera to Alice In Chains.’
Staying true to what they believe in, Obey The Brave have admitted they aren’t trying to re-invent the wheel yet they simply endeavor to deliver music they are passionate about. “Nowadays it’s hard to create something new, and when you do, the critics are strong and you get a certain reaction. Doing this band, we knew we weren’t making something new, but we knew we were doing it the right way!”
Having already toured in 20 countries, Obey The Brave are ready to bring their tight and impressive live show to Australian stages.
Joining them on this run of shows is Melbourne deathcore band Boris The Blade who have been touring consistently whilst putting the final touches to their debut LP due out in the coming months.
With a supporting line up not to be missed, make sure you catch Obey The Brave when they are in your city.
